Arrival & Getting Around: Your Stress-Free Guide Getting to your "House of Good Living" is simple, whether you are arriving on a major carrier or a quick inter-island hopper. Here is everything you need to know about airport distances, car rentals, and parking. Airport Proximity Maui has two main airports that serve the West Side. Depending on your airline, you will land at one of the following: Kahului Airport (OGG): This is the island's primary international airport. Distance: Approximately 29–34 miles. Drive Time: 45 to 60 minutes, depending on traffic. The drive is incredibly scenic, taking you along the coastline of the Pali (cliffs) with beautiful ocean views. Kapalua Airport (JHM): A smaller, regional airport perfect for inter-island flights from Honolulu or Kauai. Distance: Approximately 1.5 miles. Drive Time: A quick 3 to 5-minute drive. It’s practically in your backyard! Car Rentals & Transport While our neighborhood is walkable, we highly recommend a rental car to explore the majestic sights of the Road to Hana or the summit of Haleakala. At Kahului (OGG): All major rental brands (Alamo, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Sixt, etc.) are located at the conrac facility, accessible by a quick, free tram ride from the baggage claim. At Kapalua (JHM): There are no rental counters physically inside this tiny airport. However, many major companies operate from off-site facilities nearby. Pro Tip: Call your rental agency in advance to arrange a shuttle pick-up from the JHM terminal. Rideshare & Taxis: Both Uber and Lyft operate on Maui. A one-way trip from Kahului (OGG) to Honokowai typically ranges from $80–$120 depending on the time of day. Bus stop a couple condos over. Parking at Hale Ono Loa Parking in West Maui can be a challenge, but not here! We’ve got you covered: Free Reserved Parking: Your booking includes one free, designated parking space. You won’t have to worry about finding a spot or paying daily "resort parking" fees, which can run $40+ per night at nearby hotels. Parking Permit: Upon arrival, you will receive a parking permit (usually via the resident manager or inside the unit). Please ensure this is displayed as directed to avoid any towing issues. No Resort Fees: Unlike the big hotels in Kaanapali, Hale Ono Loa does not charge any hidden resort or parking fees. What you see is what you pay! Quick Travel Tips Stock Up Early: If you are driving in from Kahului (OGG), consider stopping at Costco, Target, or Walmart in Kahului to stock up on bulk groceries before heading to the West Side. The Scenic Route: If you arrive during the day, keep your eyes on the ocean as you drive through the "Pali" tunnel—during winter months, you can often see whales breaching from the road!
